ElzybellsNA Design Team
It is a pleasure to introduce you to our ElzybellsNA Design Team!
Emily Montenaro
Emily has enjoyed paper crafting since she was little and began stamping in 2001. Creative thinking and imagination allow her to design simple, fun cards that bring images to life. With an eye for detail, she enjoys a challenge and trying new techniques. Her goal is to design fast and fabulous cards that inspire other stampers to create! Emily is the ElzybellsNA design team coordinator and has been designing for A Muse since 2006.

Heather Meeson
Heather is a geologist, turned photographer who’s been addicted to rubber stamping for well over a decade. She and her husband, Dave, recently moved from a small village in Germany to Colorado Springs where she’s a busy paper crafts and stamping instructor when she’s not "on the road" photographing her travels. While Heather has been designing and teaching for years, A Muse was her first design team and she is excited to now be part of the ElzybellsNA team as well!

Melinda Matzen
Melinda has been in love with ‘all things crafty’ since she was a little girl and discovered that cotton balls make great clouds! She continued her crafty ways with handmade gifts for friends and family and, of course, handmade cards were the next logical step. In 2001 she discovered the wonderful world of rubber stamps and fell in love. Since then she has worked (part-time) in two different stamp stores to feed this growing addiction.
In 2005 Melinda discovered the simple and whimsical designs of A Muse Artstamps. She loved them so much she soon began teaching A Muse classes on her own and then “officially” became an A Muse Instructor in 2006. When she was asked to be on the Design Team for ElzybellsNA she couldn’t say no. The adorable images are not only hard to resist, but are also such a natural complement to the A Muse line.

Melissa Oseran
Melissa began stamping 5 years ago and hasn’t looked back! She has always enjoyed a craft project, but stamping seems to have stuck. In 2005, she started her own custom invitation business, Joy, which incorporates all of her favorite things: paper, ribbon, stamps & being creative & crafty for a living!
Her style is simple and clean, with small embellishments like glitter adding the extra special touch. She is thrilled to be a part of the Elzybells NA Design Team.

Novell Eckstrom
Novell dabbled with rubber stamps back when people used their toasters as embossing tools. She only became a serious rubber stamper about 4 years ago after many years as a scrapbooker. Novell attributes her 'craftiness' to her mom's side of the family, all of whom are also 'crafty' people. She also enjoys cute and dainty things, which is what drew her to A Muse. She likes the clean, simple, but cute designs and the fact that the stamps are smaller and easier to handle. Novell has a day job in the telecommunications industry but spends her free time with her husband and two very active boys, volunteering her Wednesday nights at church, and designing and teaching for A Muse and ElzybellsNA.
